Gauntlet Remake Coming to DS, May be Awesome

Apr. 13 8:35 PM by Alicia Ashby

This is old news by now, but falls into the category of things too mindblowingly awesome for me to not want to post about them. The rumors of Eidos having a Gauntlet game for the DS have turned into a reality far more badass than could've been initially hoped. The lucky bastards at IGN got the first look, but here's the basic facts of interest.

  • 40 levels, 32 enemies
  • 4 classes (probably the 4 classic ones, but this is not confirmed)
  • Unique class abilities
  • Full Nintendo WFC support, which means...
  • Online co-op and versus modes for 4 players
  • Voice chat support
  • 3D graphics stretching across both screens

They kinda had me at "four player online co-op". My only qualm are the 3D graphics, as the 3D entries in the Gauntlet series haven't exactly been models of quality production and gameplay. Still, when so few DS games that really should are willing to offer proper multiplayer online support, that Eidos is deserves mention.
